BearLover abmarks BearLover Notes: Cornell needs to step up recruiting Quinnipiac recruiting very well Harvard seems to be recruiting worse, continuing a trend from the last couple years Both Clarkson players are from the CHL Do you really think that we're not doing as much as the coaches and athletics think we can do already given who we are as a school, our location, our resources fiby Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Re: Recruits 2025 and Beyond - 2 months ago
BearLover With Bancroft and Robertson gone (at minimum), unless Casey can pull off some miracles in the portal (highly doubtful), this team is headed for a down period. I’m really sad that we went 0-for-3 in the regional final the past three seasons because it feels like it will be a long time before we get another chance. Even before these departures, things were already looking tough becausby Al DeFlorio - Hockey

mike1960 9-8 Cornell end of the third. A lot of bad passes caused by wet sticks. Brown has done good work on CJ this game, but I expect he'll make his presence felt in the 4th. I would like to see more shots from Big Hugh down the alley. has a shortie on him.by Al DeFlorio - Other Sports

Re: 2024-25 Players Graduating - 3 months ago
Beeeej BearLover CUDrew0105 Bancroft has signed with the Bruins. He will be assigned to Providence for the remainder of this season before a one-year entry level contract with the Bruins starts next season. Based on a recent conversation I had with one of the seniors, it sounds like it is a good scenario for him to join a team that is rebuilding and might get some play. I was hoping the silver liby Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Trotsky ugarte arugula Yes indeed. We had this debate a few years back when Shane was breaking through and Cornell often having smaller goalies.Jim Crozier was 5'3.I have Jim Crozier at 5' 9" 161. If this is a joke, I apologize, or perhaps I made it better. Brian Cropper was 5'6" and 29-0-0.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: Opponent and other news and results of interest 2024-2025 - 3 months ago
BearLover Trotsky With Roest coming in we have three goalies and I would be surprised (not shocked) if we brought another in. You have to treat guys who have put in the work here well or word will get around. My instinct is that we won't pull from the portal just because they are available, but guys who fit the profile and really want to come here we will now be allowed to consider because thby Al DeFlorio - Hockey

pjd8 adamw pjd8 adamw chimpfood Anyone heard any rumblings? People are starting to hear stuff and post on the USCHO forum but I haven’t seen us mentioned in any of those. Locking down another home and home with a hockey east/B1G/NCHC school would be nice to make sure our OOC schedule is strong enough to be competitive in the pairwise.

George64 Trotsky We have been fortunate to have eLynah, and USCHO, and before them all Wayne Smith and Mike Machnik's hockey-l all the way back in the early 90s before some of you were born. Before that was Don Birkmayer's "The Hockey News," begun in 1954, before we all (I think?) were born. We stand on the shoulders of giants. Wrong! . Very.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Re: NC$$ Regionals 2025 - 3 months ago
jtwcornell91 I think we ought to have a new thread for the NCAAs rather than expanding the general "other teams" thread. The Big T*n went 0-3 yesterday, all getting knocked out by Eastern teams. I can't remember the last time I cheered for Maine, but I'd love to see them make it a clean sweep. Yep.

andyw2100 Here's a relatively minor dig at Pecknold from Schafer in the weekend recap he sent out this morning to whomever gets those. Talking about the empty net goal: "I couldn’t believe they had four forwards on the ice because their coach had to know we would pull the goalie." I'm thinking Mike was talking about Kovich's SHG.

And Isaac Howard is their offensive star, a 1st round draft choice of Tampa Bay who is one of top scorers in college hockey. As you sby Al DeFlorio - Hockey
